Decision details

The Cabinet Member for Waste, Street Scene and the Environment approved the allocation of external funding to Peterborough Limited (PL) in the sum of £567,687 for the delivery of the Parks Project.

PCC have a corporate contract in place with PL to carry out maintenance in our Parks and Open Spaces.

PL currently manage our Parks and Open Spaces including play area installations and maintenance, as such this is the most efficient route to take to implement this project. PL have several approved suppliers already set up who can carry out these works and have access to the relevant procurement frameworks.

PL have surveyors in place that will be able to manage the projects to practical completion ensuring they meet industry standard and comply with Health and Safety regulations, they will also be able to hold sub-contractors to account during and after work completion.

Not carry out the works with the external funding – this would leave several play areas needing works to bring them to an adequate standard and it would leave a financial burden on PCC to fund these works.

Not award the grant funding to PL – PL have exclusivity over works in our parks and open spaces and we have a corporate contract in place for these works with them.  Using an alternative supplier would add time and cost to the Project.
